Jeff Frazee has signed with HC Valpellice of Italy's Elite A league.

The club announced the move Friday. Frazee was said to attracting interest from Sweden in May, but he ended up in Italy. He spent the 2012-13 campaign in the minors with AHL Albany. Fri, Aug 23, 2013 03:19:00 PM

The Devils "have every intention" of re-signing minor league goalie Jeff Frazee.

The unrestricted free agent received an offer to play in Sweden next year. In the AHL this season, he was 8-14-5 with a 2.58 goals-against average and .916 save percentage. The Devils have a few other goalie prospects in the organization, and general manager Lou Lamoriello is happy to let them "fight" out player positions. Wed, May 29, 2013 07:33:00 PM

Jeff Frazee has apparently received an offer to play in Sweden next season.

His agent, Jordan Neumann, confirmed a report out of Sweden that Frazee has an offer to play overseas, but said, "It is still Jeff's intention to return to the Devils organization." The minor-league goalie can become an unrestricted free agent on July 5. Thu, May 23, 2013 11:07:00 AM

Frazee was re-assigned to make room for the return of Martin Brodeur. Frazee and Keith Kinkaid served as Johan Hedberg's backups while Brodeur was on injured reserve. Both came on in relief of Brodeur during one game each but neither ended up starting a game. Tue, Mar 19, 2013 01:42:00 PM

The Devils were down 2-0 in the game when Zajac scored at the 5:57 mark of the third period. Teammate Jordin Tootoo tied the game just two minutes after Zajac scored. Despite the goal, Zajac is having a rough season offensively. The 29-year-old hadn't registered a point in his last seven games coming into this one. He has just nine goals and 19 points in 54 games this season.

Elias said he's happy to remain in New Jersey, which has been his home for his entire 1,208 game NHL career. The 38-year-old forward has another year left on his contract and the trade speculation surrounding him will likely be more intense next season if the Devils once again fail to make the playoffs.

Adam Henrique potted a goal for the Devils in their 3-1 win over the Hurricanes on Saturday night.

Henrique scored the sec on goal in a three-goal first period for the Devils. While he’s got points in three consecutive games, Henrique has been a big disappointment this season, with just 12 goals and 31 points. Tuomo Ruutu and Andy Greene scored the other goals.

Scott Gomez could find himself on a new team when the NHL trade deadline comes to an end on Monday.

Gomez is having a nice offensive season, his first in four seasons as he has five goals and 23 points in 38 games. There are plenty of playoff bound teams looking for a boost in offense and Gomez could be targeted by some clubs.

Mike Cammalleri scored his third goal in two games in the Devils' 3-1 loss Wednesday night to the visiting Calgary Flames.

Cammalleri's goal Wednesday gave him a team-high 23 on the season. In 16 career games against Calgary, Cammalleri has eight goals and 12 points. He spent four of his 12 NHL seasons in Calgary. The Devils had won four consecutive games before squandering their 1-0, first period lead and falling to the Flames Wednesday. The Devils remain six points behind the Boston Bruins for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Devils haven't won five in a row since February, 2013.

Ryane Clowe (concussion) will not return before the end of the 2014-15 campaign.

The real question at this point is if Clowe will ever play again as there's no guarantee that he will. Clowe, who was limited to just 13 games this season, has seen his career be derailed by a series of concussions over the last year and a half. Despite that, Clowe is traveling with the team on its current road trip, but that's strictly so that he can be around his teammates.

Martin Havlat and Michael Ryder will be scratched against the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night.

Ryder has played in just 10 of his season's 44 games in 2015, tallying two goals and four points in that time but none in February. Havlat meanwhile has seen 16 of his season's 38 games in 2015, but only six of those in February with just two goals and five points combined. Needless to say, neither have any fantasy value.

Michael Ryder feels his lack of playing time is why the Devils couldn't find a trading partner for him.

"It's hard to move a guy and get something for him when I've only played two games since the All-Star break. Other teams are probably wondering what's going on," Ryder said. "If they wanted to get something for me, it's tough. Hopefully somebody gives me a chance next year." He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. There probably won't be much demand for his services, but someone might take a chance on him as a bargain bin signing.

Steve Bernier scored the only goal for New Jersey, which lost to the Predators on Saturday night 3-1.

Another game, more tough times for the Devils in generating offense. Bernier scored on the power play in the second period, so he now has 11 goals and 19 points this season. On the plus side, he has lit the lamp in two games in a row. Scott Gomez and Eric Gelinas assisted on the goal.

Severson hasn't played since Dec. 15 and he might be eased back into the lineup. To that end, the Devils are expected to dress seven blueliners. Forwards Michael Ryder and Martin Havlat will spend the game in the press box.

Larsson is finally coming into his own this season after struggling for three seasons since being drafted fourth overall in 2011. Larsson has two goals and 15 points in 40 games and seems a cinch to pass his 18 point total of his rookie year. He is a candidate to get to 30-35 next season so draft him accordingly.

The Devils have 25 games left this season and Salvador still hopes to return before the year is done. "That's the hope, but I can't answer that question," Lou Lamoriello said. "He has not been skating yet, but he's working out." Salvador has been out of action since Nov. 10 with a back injury.

Eric Gelinas was held off the ice for the last 17:27 minutes of Monday's game.

Gelinas had a tweaked ankle, but he was healthy enough to play. Instead, the Devils kept him on the bench to send him a message. "It was 2-0 and I went on the rush," Gelinas said. "I can't do that and I've got to learn from that. I was trying to help out (Jaromir Jagr) and I didn't really think about it, but I've got to keep that in the back of my mind that we don't need another goal and stay back." He was limited to 10:30 minutes overall on Monday.

Peter Harrold was added to lineup as Lou Lamoriello has decided to go with seven defenders against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.

The pairs will be: Andy Greene with Adam Larsson; Jon Merrill with Damon Severson; Mark Fraser with Eric Gelinas; and Peter Harrold is expected to serve as the swing man. Harrold has three points, 29 hits, and 36 blocks in 32 games this season.

Mark Fraser will be paired with Eric Gelinas against the Boston Bruins on Friday night.

Fraser hasn't dressed since Feb. 9th, and has just two assists and 36 PIMs to his credit through 14 games this season. Gelinas hasn't been much better through 41 games with just four goals and 13 points this season.
